The Trial Show - Flemington Review

Eighteen heats were conducted on the inside grass track over about 800m. There were some showers during the morning but they are unlikely to have had any significant impact on track conditions or times recorded.

Heat 1 - Bella Martini

Heat 4 - Mightily

Heat 7 - Snitz and the City and The Commoner

Heat 11 - Big Boss Bee Kay and Miss Wahoo

Heat 13 - Italian Witness

HEAT 1 - Approximately 47.12s

Bella Martini took control early and was given a solid hit-out to win the second-quickest heat of the morning by about five lengths from Mamzelle Tess. Team Hawkes rarely give their gallopers such a strong workout during the jumpouts and Bella Martini will be right at her top for the Sangster Stakes.

HEAT 4 - Approximately 48.17s

With morning showers affecting the quality of the vision early in the heat it was Mightily, a Team Snowden two-year-old filly by Not A Single Doubt, leading an unnamed, Mark Kavanagh-trained two-year-old by Eurozone when they appeared from the mist. Mightily held a narrow margin as they passed the finishing post and a looked to have quite a bit up her sleeve.

HEAT 7 - Approximately 46.78s

Snitz And The City and The Commoner dominated this heat, which was the quickest of the morning. The Commoner showed good early speed and mapped a path about four or five horses off the fence with Snitz And The City also working to a spot on the speed but nearer the inside. Both horses travelled strongly to the line with Snitz And The City holding a margin of just over a length at the end of the heat.

HEAT 11 - Approximately 47.31s

Kidburg showed good early speed with Miss Wahoo and Big Boss Bee Kay making ground near the inside to join the leading group. Kidburg wasn't placed under any pressure in the run home while Big Boss Bee Kay and Miss Wahoo came clear to win the heat by about two lengths. Big Boss Bee Kay, who wore blinkers during the heat, looks ready to make his debut for the team at Lindsay Park and Tony McEvoy has Miss Wahoo in good shape for her first-up run.

HEAT 13 - Approximately 47.34s

Italian Witness, prepared by Lindsay Park, showed good speed with the addition of blinkers and was joined in the lead by the Team Corstens-prepared Barack O'Banner as they entered the short home straight. Barack O'Banner was placed under pressure soon after and Italian Witness maintained a strong gallop to win the heat by about two lengths.
